PROF. ROBERT HAY, Of the u. S.

geological survey, is resident of juno
ton City, Kansas, and has given consid-
cradle attention to the geology of west
ern Kansas. He says the western limits
of Kansas include shales and sandstones
that ally her to the oil and gas deposits
of Wyoming. Her western counties, the
professor says, may yet find in natural
gas native fuel.

PowDERLY has Just published an arti-
Gle declaring the views of the Knights of
Labor on the leading questions OF the day.
They would have the public lands re-
served strictly for settlers and would tax
all lands held for speculative purposes to
their full value; a graduated income tax
and the abolition of national banks
are the chief financial measures advocated;
but the great remedy for all evils is to be
found in state ownership of railroad and
telegraph lines. While there is no com
munism 10 the document, as outlined by
the press dispatches, there is much ex-
ploded theory and more crude experiment,
besides a dangerous ignoring of the prin-
ciple that taxation to be just should be
equal and uniform. If;he Knights enter
the arena of politics upon such a platform
they would have more definite aims than
a third party usually condescends to pro.
pose.

IT is a well known fact that the affairs
of railroads arc conducted and controlled
by business men of the very highest tai
ents and the keenest foresight. 1t is not
likely, therefore, that the great companies
which are extending their lines into Wyo.
ming are taking any chances, but that
they base their operations upon %calcula,
tons of what must he. The country does
not now furnish business sufficient to
warrant these enterprises, and were it the
arid waste 1t Is often represented to be

ton as would make a single railroad re-
munerative. much less furnish a fair field

One OF rhose NIysterles.

There was an old fellow turning a hand
organ OH Grand River avenue yesterday
when a maj and his wife stopped for II
momen TO hear the music and read the
sign hanging on his neck. The sign read;

Poor man-give him something's *
claimed the wife.
Sure he's all righti'
"Why, of counsel Doesn't the sign say
he has lost the use of his hands and armsf"
The husband dropped n dlme into the
box, and the pair went on, but they had
not proceeded over half n block when the
wife halted with n sudden jerk and ex-
claimed:
"Why-why, how could he turn the
crank II he had lost the use of his armsy"

then, while the woman gritted her teeth
and clenched her fingers he leaned up
against a tree box and laughed a hnwi

A SENSATIONAL dispatch was received
at Washington from Key West a few days
ago to the effect that Commodore Greene
of the Iantic had officially forbidden the
English men-ot-war at Port au Prince to
carry out the reported threat of seizingTor-
tugas island. OF course the whole thing
was a hoax. The Yantic was not in Hay
ten waters at all; if she had been, her
commander would scarcely have ventured
upon such a course without orders.

''Have you got u raiser in the housef"
asked an Indiana man who registered at
Wizards late last night for one night
only.

impatient guest. 81 don't want no bar

Light dawned upon him, you're off your

Such is the ruling of Judge Deadly, of
Oregon, and it accords with reason and
common sense. Commerce between the

be subject to the same limitations.

The senate Of Connecticut has adopted
a resolution in favor of a. protective tariff,
by a vote of eleven TO eight. Eleven Re-
publlcans voted in the affirmative, and
seven Democrats on the other side. Such
resolving amounts to little more than an
expression of individual opinion, as the

THERE is little danger Of an extra ses-

|. Act ording to the idea of things which
prevailed not so very long ago. the wo-
man who did not marry was u blighted
being. 1t did not matter whether she
remained single from choic or neccs-
sity; for since it was considered wo-
mans only manifest and unalterable
destiny to marry, she must of course, be
regarded as failure in life if she did
not do this And though she NAV have
refused forty offers of marriage, or have
had the most Imperative duties of any
sort, or developed the most decided tai
ent for some vocation in life other than
marriage yet neither one nor al of these
would have been accepted rs valid
reason why she should not follow what
society had decided was the only proper
course in life for her.
From this condition of things there
arose in literature and minds Of the peo-
pie in general the typical .'old maid"
She was always pictured rs gaunt,
angular, and forbidding in appearance:

as became blighted and disappointed
being; hating youth and pleasure of all
sorts, with special grudge against
iovemaking aud lovers. since they re-
| minded her of her own vanished youth
and the opportunities which she never
had. or. having. had neglected.
But we have changed all that in these
later daya With the education of wo-
men and the broadening of their oppor-
tunities in every way their destinies have
broadened also. A woman is still, per-
haps, expected first to marry, and it is
best for her that she should. provided
hcr marriage can be a happy and suiia-
blc one. But if from her own choice,
or necessity arising from 4 lack of APP
probation OH the part of the other and
more stupid sex. she remains ut the end
of her days what someone calls an ''un-
claimed blessing" she is no longer con-
sidcred. from this circumstance alone,
a failure and an unhappy creature. She
is no longer doomed to u life of depcn-

The Love and Respect of Children

If mothers could only realize what >
critical period their children are passing
through from the third to the sixth
year, they would exercise more than
ordinary care during that time. Not
only physically but mentally and NOR
ally are they- undergoing change; q
change for better or worse, according
to the care and attention they receive
from their mothers and fathers A
father is no more exempt from certain
duties towards his offspring than the
mother. He should always bear in
mind that his assistance in the control
of the children is of more value TO his
tired wife than tho presentation TO her
of costly gift. 1t is at this time that
children begin to notice papa's and
mammals bearing towards one another;
let this always bc one of perfect court
esy and respect. Nothing 50 quickly
DESTROYS respect for parents as constant
pickering i'm the presence of their chill
dren. The first thing 4 child should be
taught is respect for his parents and
elders; affection comes naturally with
most children and is the most valuable
aid in gaining. control of their actions;
next to that is respect. without it very
little can be accomplished for the child's
welfare. Parents should bear this in
mind that children lose respect very
soon upon hearing them disagreei using
bitter. cutting words 10 each other. This
Is infiicting the first actual pain these
baby hearts have been called upon to
bear In the presence of this the child
experiences conflicting emotions. which
ends in pity for one parent and con-
tempt for the other. U parent. pause.
